Skid Resistance And Friction Tester Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Skid Resistance And Friction Tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/103) is a swinging-arm friction tester used to measure the surface friction and skid resistance of roads, footways, floors and polished aggregate specimens, on site and in civil engineering laboratories. Highway labs and engineering colleges use it for field checks and for polished stone value tests on curved specimens from accelerated polishing, using its additional scale and six rubber sliders. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Skid Resistance Tester Used For?

A road, ramp or floor that feels grippy when dry can become dangerous when wet, so engineers measure friction on a wetted surface. The arm carrying a rubber slider is released and swings down so that the slider sweeps across the test surface; the more friction the surface offers, the less the arm rises on the far side, and the pointer records a skid resistance value on the scale. The surface is wetted from the 1 litre washing bottle and its temperature is noted with the thermometer, since rubber behaviour changes with temperature.

In the laboratory, curved aggregate specimens that have been through an accelerated polishing machine are clamped and tested with the additional scale to give the polished stone value, which shows how quickly a road stone will lose its grip under traffic. Check the slider edge before each series and change sliders when worn. The tester is useful engineering lab equipment in India for highway courses and pavement survey teams.

What to Specify When Ordering

Frequently Asked Questions

What is supplied with the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester?
The Skid Resistance And Friction Tester is supplied with an additional scale for polished stone value specimens, 6 rubber sliders, a 1 litre washing bottle for wetting the surface, a tool set with case for assembling the machine, and a thermometer reading −10 to +110 °C.

Can the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester be used on site?
Yes. The Skid Resistance And Friction Tester is suitable for both site and laboratory applications, so it can measure the friction of roads, footways and floors in place, and of prepared specimens on the bench.

What is the polished stone value scale on the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester?
The additional scale on the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester is used when testing curved aggregate specimens taken from accelerated polishing tests. The reading gives the polished stone value, which indicates how well a road stone keeps its grip as traffic polishes it.

What are the key pendulum dimensions of the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester?
The Skid Resistance And Friction Tester has a rocker weight of 1500 ±30 g, and the distance between its rocking centre and centre of gravity is 410 ±5 mm. The dimensions listed with its base plate are 700 × 360 × 70 mm.

Who manufactures the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester?
The Skid Resistance And Friction Tester is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and spare-slider questions go directly to the manufacturer.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Skid Resistance And Friction Tester is not stated in its listing. Please discuss your requirement with us through the contact page before ordering, and mention the test method you follow.
